QUOTE(supafreak @ Jun 9 2006, 02:47 PM) okay... tat's not pleasant... i tot Macs dont crash???? To say it doesn't crash is pretty hard but the screen you saw was a hardware conflict that requires immediate shutdown for hardware inspection, so it has no relation to the commonly said "Macs don't crash (in terms of software)".oh wise apple users in LYP Forum, must i follow the high performance thing? My sis's MacBook from Singapore was given a Transcend DDR2 667mhz 1Gb as a free upgrade, hope this will add into the list of "Tested RAMs on MacBook". |
